WINTER BREAK

With the economy people are shopping less and businesses are going out of business. The article was on CNN called 7 winning industries. The article talks about how clothing stores, toy stores are going out of business and how other businesses are still not being affected things like video games, cosmetics, waste management’s, comfort food, discount retailers, for-profit education, and fast food restaurants. Mc Donald’s announced that thanks to their value menu sales jumped 7.7%. On discount retailers stores like the Dollar Tree saw a 6.2% increase. With comfort food like Mac n Cheese and jell-o they are seeing a 7% increase. Americans are just seeing how poor the economy is and are afraid for their own pockets. That’s why instead of going to expensive restaurants they bother just too probably stop by to fast food restaurants. Right now economic communists announced that the beginning of the New Year is going to be terrifying and half way through the year we will see some results.
